Rep. Carolyn McCarthy said yesterday Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand's gun control views make her unacceptable for the U.S. Senate and threatened a primary challenge in 2010 if Gov. David A. Paterson selects the Hudson Democrat to replace Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"I've spent 15 years trying to prevent gun violence in this country, and if he does pick her and if no one goes and primaries her, I will primary her," McCarthy said. "I will do that. I'm not going to give up on this. I'm not going to let New York State get represented by someone who gets a 100 percent rating from the NRA."
Sen. Charles Schumer, who like McCarthy is a strong proponent of gun control, asked the Mineola Democrat to refrain from protesting Gillibrand's selection, McCarthy said.

‘I’ve spent 15 years trying to prevent gun violence in this country, and if he does pick her and if no one goes and primaries her, I will primary her,” McCarthy said. “I will do that. I’m not going to give up on this. I’m not going to let New York State get represented by someone who gets a 100 percent rating from the NRA.” ‘
Anyone else just notice Representative McCarthy just admitted she’s been an abject failure for a decade and a half?
Just askin....
Well look here!
Isn’t the vast preponderance of gun violins caused by ‘rats and ‘rat sympathizers rather than by RINOs and conservatives with guns?
The more I hear about Kirsten Gillibrand the more I like her. Anyone that can piss off the libs this badly has my full support. Of course I don’t agree with everything she stands for, but I like some of it, and being Pro-Gun is something I definitely agree with
Gillibrand....
Mostly the mob.
Exactly. Not bad looking for a Dim.
McCarthy is a useless moron. STFU.
Carolyn McCarthy needs to get over herself and read the Constitution.
Dems are saying she is the Democrat Sarah Palin. PLEASE Sarah could kick this woman’s butt in a nano second, but they do share a few things in common, being pro-gun, both members of the NRA, both have kids, both are very young, how would the libs respond if Sarah and Kirsten went moose hunting
Since when is primary a verb?
Oh boy! Beauty and the Beast.
Gillibrand is against the war in Iraq and a proponent of gay marriage.
That dingbat McCarthy looks like the love child of Janet Reno and Yellow Jack Murtha.
... says a complete airhead who could not have been elected Dog Catcher had she not been married to a man prevented by law from from carrying a weapon which might have saved his life, and the lives of others, on the night he died.
ML/NJ
I’d like to see her give up her house seat in a futile primary. That seat might flip back to the GOP. Times have changed, so maybe not, but it might.
Charlie looks better.
McCarthy considers herself a Catholic yet she refused to vote against partial birth abortion.
